Gill Corporation 始于加利福尼亚州蒙特贝罗的一个租用车库，目前位于加利福尼亚州埃尔蒙特 Easy Street 的八座建筑群中，在马里兰州、法国和北爱尔兰设有子公司。
The Gill Corporation was founded on September 11, 1945 by a man who believed that “plastics” was the future – Merwyn “M.C.” Gill. He started the company in a garage in Montebello and, today, it is the oldest, continuously operating manufacturer of advanced composites for the aviation industry in the world.
The company originally produced products for the consumer market. Some were unique, like a plastic wall covering that was before its time and balsa bat and cork ball baseball game set. But, after seven years of struggling, an opportunity emerged to manufacture belly baggage compartment wall linings for Douglas Aircraft’s DC-6.
The company grasped the opportunity and we’ve been in commercial aviation since that time. The company still makes “cargo liner” today, but it’s a different product than it was then.
